This patch's live balance is on the smaller side as our focus shifts increasingly toward the season two update next month. We've got some adjustments to the support pool, with Nami and Karma dominating the high-skill support space and Rell all but disappearing.

IT'S SHYVANA TIME Y'ALL!
Welcome to patch 26.6! In this week's patch we have Shyvana's new update hitting the Rift with a brand new model, visual effects, voice over, and skins, all of which will come out alongside her release! We've also got your usual balance changes, a new skinline, Warhounds, and balance changes for Arena and ARAM: Mayhem with a toooon of bugfixes!

Welcome to the official patch of First Stand, the first major international tournament of the year! This patch we’re making some pro-focused changes, but not as many as we would for a larger tournament like Worlds, which means we’re re-tuning a small handful of mid laners and a single bot laner.

This is our first major live follow-up patch on Season 2026 after collecting our first reads on the game from a combination of playing ourselves and watching you all dive into the changes. We're honing in on item balance, following up on recent rune changes, and tweaking vision mechanics to ensure the early game has the right level of tension. We've also got balance changes. A lot of balance changes. The biggest standout here is AD junglers, who are systemically worse in the new season, but since...
Pilot Lux! Aegis Frame Galio! Here we go!
It’s our first patch after the 26.1 changes have hit the Rift so we’re following up in this patch by bringing the big winners down a notch while helping out some champions that have had trouble finding their footing in 2026. On a similar note, we’ve been reading your feedback about the new changes and are continuing to monitor how they land as all of you continue to learn and adapt to them. If you’re interested in a deeper dive on our thoughts around...
